This Demon Just Got Too REAL!

fake demons won't rattle me like they used to...

Few weeks ago, I watched “The Conjuring” - actually, I thought I was going to see the Nun-faced demon but it wasn't to be.

Yes, I was schooled on the fact that The Nun is a different franchise - a couple of social media posts gave me the false impression that they were the same.

I told my mom about the movie before watching it and she wasn't thrilled that I picked an interest in horror films.

“wait a minute…”

Let's do a little back trace

“Throwback to a decade ago, christian horror films was a thing in our home. We feared God. Emphasis on “Feared” because the real basis of being a christian is “Loving” God and keeping his commandments not just fearing him.

We did the exact opposite because the movies created this mindset where we thought more about the devil, hell and his demons instead of heaven.

My mom was okay with those movies - in fact, she bought the CDs. Fast forward few years later, she didn't want us seeing anything like that again.”

Welcome back

Well, I really wanted to see the film and my mom's dislike wasn't going to stop me. I'm a man and seeing a couple of fake demons won't rattle me like they used to.

2-Factor Authentication: I decided to watch the movie during the day to reduce the fear - SHOULD THERE BE ONE.

It started well and ended well - despite my disappointment for not seeing the nun.

Was I going to be fine? Scratch that, I was fine already.

It was all fun and games until it was night time - the demon face was stuck in my head. I was seeing it everywhere.

I saw it in every closet, dark corner, dark window… hell, I even felt it crawl towards me behind my back while I was peeing. I'm not even going to go into the awkward peeing posture I did to stay wary.

I had a lesson that night and it didn't help that my desk was against the window. I felt like the THING was on the other end of that window staring at me trying to focus.

The dark window is just at the top right of the photo - I didn't capture it well. I would have tried again but it's 5am guys and I don't want to face that window again. 🌚

I had bragged that the movie won't affect me in any way but there I was, praying for sunrise because I was literally being haunted.

I had planned to see the sequel of the movie and also the latest Nun movie to complete the Trinity. It's the 18th day of November and I have been watching Disney movies to cleanse my mind.

Actually, I use songs too. So the song for today's episode is The Power of Your Love by Hillsong Worship and my darling Darlene Zschech. Apparently, Darlene's high pitched “Holddddd me closeeee!!!” is all the exorcism I need.
